nope hes got a new k12 that has a double din headunit in it

only thing you can do at the moment is swap the centre part over to the old style one posted above but one without the computer as you can get ones with a storage box on top

no offense but the stnadard headunit is great compared to over aftermarket ones, personally i'd stay with the standard one

go to the scrappy and get a DIN storage box out of a car, any one will do as they are same size.

i would keep the standard one but ive got a sub and an amp and the guy said that it probably wont work on the old head unit. i thot by the way the guy was speaking the DIN storage box are all differant sizes.

DIN is DIN, standard size, double DIN is 2xDIN I know this because I have replaced a head unit with a storage box when my m8 got a carputer.
The amp will work off the standard head unit you will just need some speaker to RCA adapters.

If you need any help I can give instructions though.

I've always got adapters from Autoleads. They are pretty good and, if you go to www.autoleads.co.uk you can find all the product numbers for the parts they have. Then simply go to your local supplier (Halfords) and ask them to order them in. You can buy direct from Autoleads but its not always that easy. Also if your gonna put a decent sound system into your car you should think about using higher quality wire then that provided by Nissa. I tried to use the Nissan earth and live leads to power my sony head unit and due to the age of my car they failed on me. Simply run new live and negative leads from the engine and earth if to the frame.

Go in to halfrauds and they should be able to source a fasia plate for your car.
